Among them is also guest star Akuma from Street Fighter, who even has a significant role in the story. The ensemble is built as a good mixture of old and new characters and most of the new ones are great additions to the franchise. There are 38 fighters, almost each of them with their own style and moves. The amount of characters definitely does not give any reason for critique, except for some fans who miss a specific character maybe (Lei, where are you?!). Character ensemble and new gameplay features When a game is set up, it runs smooth and we couldn’t notice any lags, as long as the opponent is from the same region.
#Poser 7 review Patch#
During the first days there have been a lot of connection and syncing issues however the latest patch seems to have fixed them at least to some extent. Furthermore, you can also set up or join custom tournaments. There you find quick matches, unranked lobbies and then of course ranked games as well. The variety of options increases when you are playing online. In general, customization options are huge. As the name suggests, here you can win a whole lot of treasure boxes, which contain customization items for your fighters. The arcade mode consists of only five fights in a row before the credits already roll, and “Treasure Battle”, a theoretical infinite sequence of fights against random CPU opponents, spiced up with some special fights in between, until you lose. For single-players, the options do not look much brighter. At least Tekken Bowl is already rumored to be part of a DLC. There is no team battle (probably from now on reserved for the Tag Tournament incarnations of the series) or other more goofy modes like volleyball, which were often more fun than the actual game itself. To play against a local friend, your only choice is the standard versus mode.

However, at least for offline players, that is unfortunately not the case. If the story mode would be just the icing on the cake, atop of a solid foundation of other enjoyable modes, this would not be a big problem. Speaking frankly, the story is just bonkers, but it’s arguable whether that is a bad or a good thing. That is true for the game as a whole, but especially noticeable in the story mode in terms of facial expressions and textures.

Visually it also displays shortcomings in comparison to Injustice 2 for example. The two visual styles that are used for the two narrative levels are too different to form a homogenous whole. That attempt cannot be called successful. Now, though, the developers actually want to tell a serious story. Of course, “cringeworthy” is not bad by itself, it was always part of Tekken.

The number of actual fights is surprisingly low, most of the time you are just watching cringeworthy dialogues. First, the story is way too short and takes only approximately two to three hours to be completed. However, Tekken 7 does not meet the standards set by the competition. And yes, in the Tekken universe “interacting” usually boils down to kicking each other’s teeth out.

Instead of the arcade mode ending in cinematics for each character, we now are presented with a full-fledged story line, narrated on the one hand by a reporter and on the other hand by showing us directly some of the key characters interacting with each other.
#Poser 7 review series#
With series like Mortal Kombat or Injustice incorporating this sort of single-player experience for already quite some time, apparently the Tekken developers felt the need to catch up.

The first big change that catches the eye is the new story mode. So, without further ado, let’s get ready to rumble! This is our PlayStation 4 Tekken 7 review. Additionally, Tekken 7 was playable in Japanese arcades for already over two years, before it finally arrived on consoles as well. While the predecessors on average were released with two or three years in between, it has been almost eight years since Tekken 6 came to the home consoles, with Tekken Tag Tournament 2 helping to pass the time, but that was also already in 2012. And we say “Hello old friend, it’s been a long time.” Fans of the Tekken series indeed had to patient. The King of Iron Fist Tournament is back.
